Kodi Issues Prompt Install On i-FLASH DISK K8 64GB SSD

I have had some issues with Kodi on a windows 10, then 11 machine so I decided to go back to LE KODI...

Let me give the whole chain of events..

I had KODI running on a Winblows 10 machine with nay a problem for years..

We just got a newer model VIZIO 4K TV.. For a week or so KODI was fine... Then one day, I started watching and the audio sync was off.. By at least 20-30 seconds.. Funny thing was it was off in Windows AND in KODI..

So, obviously it was a windows problem.. Big shock..

So I updated to Windows 11.. It was the quickest way to get back up and running.

And it worked fine for about a week or so.. Then the audio delay kicked back in...

So, now I am trying to re-install LE/KODI and, when I used the created ThumbDrive boot, it says it can't see the i-FlaskDisk K8 64GB SSD that I used for LE KODI originally..

Did LE/KODI get bigger recently where it won't fit on a 64GB boot disk??

Any assistance would be most appreciated..

Write Dropbox - bootsector.img - Simplify your life to the USB drive using any image writing tool (etcher etc.) and it will erase all partitions and allow the disk to be prepared (reimaged for LE) again. To be clear, this will nuke all content on the drive.

is "i-FlaskDisk K8 64GB SSD" a second disk and windows is running on another one ?

if so you might clear that disk under windows using "diskpart":

open an terminal with admin rights
key in diskpart (starts diskpart)

than all following commands step by step (read the comments in brackets !)

- list disk ( to see all disks, USB-Disks too)
- select disk N (please adjust "N" with the output of the previous command)
- detail disk (to be sure you picked the right disk)
- clean (wipes the partition table (the disk ?); "clean all" would overwrite with zero's )
- create partition primary
- format fs=ntfs quick (gets reformated when installing LE)
- assign (assigns a drive letter )
- active (makes it bootable)

- exit

as before:

!!! THE DISK IS AFTERWARDS EMPTY (all data lost) !!!

P.S.

with the above you could also create windows install usb sticks (when running windows) !

you just need to copy the content of an windows install DVD to the same usb stick after the above "exit" command.
